Yancoal Australia Co.,Ltd on April 16 released the announcement that its commercial coal production in the first quarter of 2019 was 13 million tons (total), up 2 percent on year; equity commercial coal production was 8.8 million tons, up 11 percent; commercial coal sales (equity) was 9.4 million tons, up 19 percent on year.
Yancoal sells high-quality thermal coal, with the price quoted lower than Globalcoal 6000 kcal index.
The warming-up in Europe, decrement in China's thermal coal imports and natural gas price drop pressurize global coal price index. However, the strong demand from Asia to high-quality thermal coal sustains. The high-quality thermal coal supply is tight. Marketers predict that price will be maintained in mid term.
